Rating 75.1

Located in Ypsilanti just off I-94 between Detroit Metro Airport and Ann Arbor is Eagle Crest Golf Club, operated by Eastern Michigan University and home to the college golf teams. Eagle Crest opened in 1987 and is a daily-fee course with a Marriott hotel located onsite. The elevated driving range and practice area overlooks Ford Lake and the course layout features several holes that play along its shores. The highlight is the signature par-5 16th hole that features a shallow, peninsula green on the lake. In 2012, EMU embarked on a 20-year master plan to the golf course that will elevate the stature of the course among NCAA host courses. Enhancements include tree management and more views of the lake, rebuilt greens and rerouted cart paths.

Paul T.

Greens are in great condition especially for this time of year. Pace was slow probably because of the difficulty on the greens and hazards. One of my favorites courses and the carts there are perfect. Just don’t drive around OB or you will be forced to drive in reverse. 😂

Best public course

I moved to the Detroit metro a year ago and this is the best public course I’ve played since living here. The layout is fun and challenging. Water in play, challenging bunker placements, and attackable holes. This course was in the best shape of any public I’ve played. Fast greens, tip top fairways, and challenging rough. I would 100% play this again and recommend to a friend.

One of the best courses in the Metro area. unfortunately play was slow but I will assume that because of cart path only. Still should of had a marshal out there

Very slow

Extremely slow round, and unfortunately there was goose droppings all over the course. On many holes, the tee boxes are very close to the greens, which makes any missed shot pretty nerve-racking. The driving range also hits into the course, so you have to stay alert at all times.

I hate to give such a poor review, especially since I’m not from the area, but I regularly play much nicer courses back home that are rated lower. I was honestly surprised at how much my home courses outshine this one.

Course is in really good shape for March

Great place, pace of play was a little slow.

Weird thing is no key for the golf cart until you go to Hole 1. Its not like you can drive all i over anyway.

Course was in great shape. Fairways a little wet on a few holes, very playable.
